Maybe your printer has a card reader slot. They appears
as removable drive.

Let the message open, get Sysinternals ProcessExplorer:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

Start it, click on the bulls eye and drag it over the message
and release the mouse button.
No the ProcessExplorer selects the process which shows this
message in its process list.
